Application med April 1o, 191s'. seriai No. 22v,s94.

' -To all whom z't may concern."

Be it hiown that I, GEORGE BEY, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Jersey City,.in the county of Hudson and- State of New Jersey, have invented a new and Improved Rotary Pump, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to pumps and particularly to an improved combined reciprocating rotary ump, and has for an object the provision o an improved arrangement of wearing platecoacting with the piston'of the pump.

Another object of the invention is the prvision of means for adjusting the stroke of l the pump when the pump is stationary or 'While it is in motion so as to regulate the ow of the-pump.

A still further object of the invention is to rearrange and simplify certain parts of the pump shown in my-co ending applicationz Serial No. 189,718, ed September V5, 191

Inthe accompanying drawings:

Figure 1 is alongitudinal vertical section through a pipe disclosing an embodiment of the invention. j. Fig. 2 is a view similar to Fig. 1, but showing the piston tu-rned a hal-f revolution.

Flg. 3 is a transverse sectional view through Fig. 1 on line 3--3.

. Fig. 4 is. a transverse sectional viewthrough Fig. 1 on line 4-4.

F g.'4 5 is a front view of the thrust plate disclosing certain features of the invention.

Fig. 6 is a perspective view of the piston embodying certain features ofthe invention. Referrin to the accompanying drawings bynumera s, l-indcates a casingformed ofmetal of any desired kind and preferably hreaded enlargeprovided with internally t ments or bosses-2 and 3. These bosses'act as inlet and outlet openings respectively'. In addition the casing 1 is preferably formed with 'a base 6 designed to receive suitablesecuring bolts or .other securing Amembers throu h the opening 7. The casingv 1 is forme -open at the ends and provided -with headsS and. 9 atthe ends, saidheads being secured in lace by bolts or ang other desired means. ead 8 is provide with a hub structure 10 in which the end o f the shaft 11 rests as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, said end having a bearing orthrust plate 12 acting theretoward the other.

on which plate is in turn acted on by the adjusting screw 13 for 'taking up any loose lon 'tudinal movement of the shaft.

igidly secured to shaft 11, or formed integral therewith is an enlargement 14 bearing against the head 9 and maintained in contact therewith by the set screw 13. The head 9 is provided with an exteriorly vthreaded hub 15 through which shaft 11 in the central web 23 of the piston 18 whereby the piston is rotated With shaft l1, but allow an independent back and forth sliding 'i movement of the rods 19 and 20 as wel] as the shaft 11. If desired a packing member 2 4' may be connected withv the web 23 for preventing the passage of any fluid from Athe end of the casing carrying head 8 except through the proper discharge outlet. The piston 18 is provided with a central web as shown particularly in Fig. 6 in order to divide the inlet openings 25 and 26 as shown in Fig. 2. Inlet'opening 26 is shown -in this figureopen to head 8 through the passagewayy 27, while the inlet 25 is open through.

passageway 28 to head 9. When the parts are in the position shown in Fig. 1 the web 23 is cldsing both the inlet and outlet openings, which are-,not only shown in this figure, but also shown in Fig. 3. During the rotation ofthe piston moved from the position shown in Fig. 3, it will cause water to vflow in through the inlet opening and out lthrough the outlet opening as the piston ro# tates and moves from .one end of the casing In order to vary the stroke of the piston thrust plates 29 and 30 are providedformed of metal of any desired' kin'd. and constructed vwith enlargements 31 and `32, each of these enlargements having an opening so as to accommodate the 'ends of screws 33 and 34. These screws are each providedl with a locking nut and extend from the exterior of heads 8' and 9 to the screwed from the position shown in Fig. lv

for a short distance the stroke of the piston would be shortened to that extent and conseuently the dow of the uced roportionately. bese thrust plates not o y act in this manner to regulate the throw or reciprocation o the piston and vso ,ate parts ta consequently regulate the dow of the pump, but also act to take u any wear onv the re spective parts. lt will be noted'that durin the rotation of the piston the same is move back and forth. by theaction of the thrust plates which v'act in a certain sense as cams so that the alternate ends are opened and the inlet and outlet openings 2 and 3, whereby when one end is in communication Witli the inlet the same is lled with a fluid in tbe pump, while the otlier end is discharging. he distances at which the inner faces of the thrust plates opposite screws. 3 and d are spaced regulate the amount of throw or reciprocation of tbe piston. A half revolution of the piston reverses the action above mentioned and so on during the continued operation of the pump'. By providin a piston discharge or this nature a gradua opening for the incoming duid is formed, the outgoing duid is positively forced out of tbe pump and the incoming duid is drawn or sucked into the pump, thus producing a force pump Witliout using a check valve or valves of an kind, as the piston and associge tlie place of valves. lt will also be noted that by reason oi tbe perticu lar construction set rortb tliat the pump ma be reversed at any time by reversing; snai-it ll, and in tliat event tbe inlet would become tbe outlet and the outlet would become tbe inlet. Wlaat l claim is:

l. ln a rotary pump of the character described, a casing, a piston arranged in saidcasins, means for causing; said pist-on to reciprimatein tbe casing during its rotary movement, a thrust plate arranged at eacli end of tlie piston, and means tor adjusting tbe position et one point ot eacli or said thrust plates,

2. ln a rotary pump of tlie character described, a casing, a piston arranged in said casing and formed with parallel ends, said casing beingm arranged at an angle to tbe axis o tlie piston, means lor causing said piston to rotate in tbe casing, a pair oli tlirustplates arranged in tlce casing at opposits ends of tli-e piston, and means for balding one point ci eacli oi tlirnst in a Lgiven position causingstlee yump would be reraedern piston to rotate and to reciprocate as it rotetes.

3A rotary pump of the character described, provided with an inlet and outlet,

a rotary piston arranged in said casingv formed with a passageway extending to opposits ends thereof, means for. rotating said piston, means for reciprocating the piston lwhereby the matter being pumped will bedrawn in at one end of the casing while other matter being pumped will be vforced out of the other end, said last mentioned 'means comprising; a pair of thrust plates,

and means for substantially p ivotally connectingthe plates to the casing'at alined forcing tlie same out said outlet, said piston having parallel, but inclined ends. a
